What travelers are saying
Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. We’ packed lots of very warm clothing as directed. We were in a tiny ice cave about 10 foot long. For no more than 5 to 7 minutes. No explanation of the geologic underpinnings, etc. a huge investment in time and money for very little return.
Alex was a great guide. He even played us Icelandic music on the drive back from the ice cave!
Enjoyable experience, fascinating to be inside and upclose to the ice caves.
Fabulous experience, excellent guides who helped one of our party navigate the terrain.
